Fantastic -- I could listen to this all day. Totally different version of Bonaparte's Retreat then I have heard before!

[@zachb8012]

Whoever remastered this did a good job on the audio. Yeah, there's a buzz, but judging from the video this is 'bout as good as it could get. Also, this dude loves pluckin at the fiddle. I bet he played a mean cluck ol hen. >
